Animal Road Accident Awareness Day

No animal deserves to be left in the road like rubbish following a road traffic accident.
Today is a day to remember the fallen and to help spread the message of how there’s still a chance to change the fate of those who have not yet found themselves in this position. So many animals never getting the option of a second chance, for no other reason but the driver didn’t see their lives as important enough to give them a second thought. All animals deserve a chance of survival.

Wildlife casualties should be reported to your nearest wildlife rescue at http://www.nativearc.org.au They are specifically trained to care for and rehabilitate wildlife. Domestic pets should be taken to the nearest veterinary practice, alive or deceased. Persons taking injured animals to a veterinarian will not incur costs. Veterinarians are only obliged to administer pain relief to relieve suffering so ensure pets are microchipped and the details kept up to date.
